What is the doctor's recommendation for tummy tuck after VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) surgery?
The doctor recommends consulting for a tummy tuck 6 months to a year after VSG surgery.
What is the doctor's approach to panniculectomies?
The doctor does not perform panniculectomies without a tummy tuck.
What is the recovery like after liposuction?
Patients typically need 2-3 days on strong pain medication. The majority of swelling lasts 4-6 months, with about 60% resolved in 2 months. Patients can return to work about one week after lipo.
What is the absorption rate in the early period of fat grafting?
The absorption rate in the early period of fat grafting is about 40-60%.
What is the BMI limit for liposuction patients?
The doctor's highest BMI for liposuction patients is 35.
What is an umbilical donut and how is it addressed?
Muscle separation creates a gap concentrated mostly around the belly button. The donut is a product of improperly done lipo and is not a normal phenomena. The doctor addresses this during liposuction revision.
What is the typical garment protocol after liposuction and breast revision?
Patients wear stage one garments for one to three weeks, then switch to stage two garments after three to four weeks. Stage one garments help with swelling without affecting blood flow.
What is the doctor's approach to drain tubes?
The doctor does not use drains, but it's surgeon preference.
What is the recovery process like after liposuction 360?
There is no overnight stay after a 360 liposuction; patients go home in about 1-2 hours after surgery. Patients typically need a week of full downtime, requiring assistance with daily tasks. Patients working from home should take one week off, while those working in an office should take two weeks off. Patients should avoid being too active around the house for three weeks after liposuction. Light cardio and exercise can usually be started around week three, gradually increasing intensity. Downtime for truck drivers after lipo is 4-6 weeks. Faja wear after Lipo360 is recommended for at least 3 months, but can be longer depending on healing and swelling.
What are the risks associated with Life Session 360?
Life Session 360 is relatively safe if performed by a qualified surgeon. Puncturing organs is a risk if the surgeon is inexperienced or unsure. Risks like fibrosis and contour irregularities are minimized in safe situations with qualified surgeons.
What are the doctor's recommendations for recovery after liposuction?
Following post-operative instructions, including massages, compression garments, low sodium intake, and high water intake, aids recovery and results. Massages are important for recovery, becoming more comfortable with repeated sessions. Massages are recommended for about 6 weeks after surgery, and patients arrange them independently.
What is the doctor's recommendation for patients flying in for surgery?
Patients flying in for surgery should stay in town for about a week.
What is the doctor's approach to skin tightening with lipo procedures?
The practice offers skin tightening with lipo procedures, specifically arm lipo.
